WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — What started as a training exercise at CFCC’s Fire and Rescue Management Training Center quickly turned into a real-life emergency this morning.

The Wilmington Fire Department says a 14-year veteran of the department got overheated during the drill. The firefighter, whose name has not been released, was treated at Cape Fear Hospital.

He is expected back at work on Wednesday.
